Last to enter Round 1, last to enter Round 2... let's hope this doesn't become a habit.

About this creation

Requirements:
Link to the Middle Earth MocAthalon.
Link to my brilliant opponent Petric G. and his entry.
In the Dwarven Bracket, my category is: Dale:
Use your Imagination for this category! Draw what you imagine the ruins of Dale to look like after Smaug visited, when Thorin was a young dwarf.

Yeah, this isn't ruins, but I asked the judges and they said it was fine to build a pre-Smaug Dale.

These things are definitely not my strong suit. I think I'll leave the trees to Mark Erickson in the future.

Beautiful, beautiful build! I love all the SNOT work in this, very masterful! I also like how you've used hints of olive throughout the build, particularly in that cheese-slope roof. The er...couple and the scandalized gentleman made me smile. ;) Well done!
